Reindeer Cupcakes

These reindeer cupcakes are so cute and easy to make for the kids, or for an activity for kids in the kitchen!

What you need:

Chocolate Cupcakes (x 12) – base

Chocolate buttercream icing – face background

Vanilla buttercream icing – eyes background

Mini pretzels (x 24) – horns

White Chocolate melts (x 12) – mouth background

Mini M & M’s (11 x brown ones, 1 x red one for Rudolph) – noses

Chocolate Chips (x 24) – eyes

Melted chocolate – melt a handful of chocolate chips in a ziplock bag placed in the microwave in 20 second intervals on high, squishing the chocolate together between your fingers in between microwaving, until all melted, then cut a small hole in the corner and pipe the mouth

Assemble to look as the photo above and enjoy!!

This can be made with any cupcake and buttercream icing recipe or packet mix (kids will probably pick off the top chocolate bits and give their parents the rest to finish!). I recommend my Milo Fudge Cake recipe (made into cupcake) and Perfect Buttercream Icing (with 2 tablespoons cocoa).
